steady rain, and oilskins were already on when the "oily" 
race was called. The tng-of-war between B C. A. and Irish 
yachtsmen resulted in a hard- won victory for the former. 
Unfortunately the colored fires, etc., ordered for this occa- 
sion, did not arrive in time, and the day concluded with the 
annual dinner at Burgess's Hotel. 
Camp Vr. (Julv 37 to July 29), Bushey Island, Mount Shan- 
non (by kind permission of Mr. George).— About midday on 
Tuesday the fleet left Dromineer for this camp in the face of 
a hard breeze and a really heavy sea. The 18-f ooters reported 
taking it over green, and the Vita, good little craft as she is, 
but loaded down with stores, soon had to turn back. Soli- 
taire, starting an hour after the others, had a rathpr lonely 
jaunt, but took no longer over the journey. By dark the 
tents were pitched and all hands comfortable for the night. 
On the following day the Mount Shannon regatta took 
place, and included two races for the the B. C. A. The first 
one, for a really handsome silver cup, given by the l. D. Y. 
C. was won by Solit-aire, miach to her skipper's surprise, as 
she only carried 47«q. ft. of sail. The second, for a prize 
most kindly given by Lord Dunalley, was won bv Water- 
mouse (Messrs, Clayton). Both races were sailed in a very 
heavy wind and tolerable sea, and were very fast indeed. 
On Thursday all hands left (literally left, for we were get- 
ting few) for the last rendezvous of all. A glorious reach 
across Mount Shannon Bay, a long, close haul between the 
mountains of the lower and more beautiful portion of the 
lake, and leaving it at last, we once more came into the 
river. Here our tents were pitched (for the last time) be- 
neath some grand old beeches on the estate of Mr Parker. 
Camp VII. (July 29 to Aug. 4), Bally valley, Killaloe.— This 
was the prettiest spot of all, and yet an air of sadness hung 
about the camp. Was it the sen.se of impending dissolution, 
the shadow of Brian Boru's old fort, or the attractions of the 
Shannon View Hotel that drew our members thither in the 
evening, I cannot tell; but, anyhow, we had some very pleas- 
ant reunions with old friends and new at Killaloe. Several 
of us went in for flyfishing. There is a celebrated even- 
ing rise of trout on the rapids there, yet, though the river 
seemed to boil with fish, and the air was thick with stone- 
fiies, only one good, trout was taken among a dozen rods; this 
fell, or rather rose, to the writer. 
On Sunday, Aug. 1, by kind invitation of Mr. Twiss, the 
members lunched with him at Mrs. Enright's hotel at Cas- 
tleconnell. The seven-mile journey down the river was done 
in three of the fishermen's cots, which were very smartly 
handled on the rapids, and at night the meet concluded ofli- 
cially with a farewell dinner giveu by Mr. P. Nisbet. 
Looking backward on this glorious cruise, I do not hesi- 
tate to pronounce it the best step ever taken by the B C. A. 
Not only has it resulted in a large accession of members, and 
set the Association on its legs financially, but it has estab- 
lished and justified the reasons for its very existence. 
It is a thousand pities that the muster of men and craft 
were .so poor; those who could have come and did not, missed 
a chance of a lifetime;, but, what between the Jubilee, busi- 
ness, illness, and the R. C. C. races, doubtless many who 
were really anxious to come, could not. Mention of racing 
compels me to point out a most satisfactory feature of this 
cruise, viz., tliat from first to last, there was not a single 
capsize or accident to man or craft; and yet, many of the 
races were held in water infinitely rougher and bigger than 
anything I have seen at Burnham. Lough Derg is thirty 
miles long by fourteen wide. Comment will doubtless be 
made on the large amount of racing done at a cruising meet, 
but this was simply due to the overwhelming kindness of 
our Irish yachting friends. They had prizes waiting for us 
wherever we went, and how or why should we refuse to sail 
for them ? 
• To the many who befriended the Association, its members 
return their sincerest thanks. Among so many it is hard to 
particularize, but mention must be made of Major Bernard, 
Lord Dunalley, Mr. Baile, Capt. Minchin, Mr. Parker, Mr. 
Twiss, Mr. Lloyd Vaughan, and Mr. Parker Hutchiuson, all 
of whom spared no trouble or expense to make us welcome. 
In conclusion, may I point out to those who only race, that 
in canoeing cruises such as the above, they have one of the 
grandest amusements in the world, and that by cooperating 
with those who attend them, they will do more to revive the 
sport we love than by building any number of fearful and 
wonderful racing machines.

On Aug. f8 the New Haven Gun Club held a handicap shoot on its 
grounds. The occasion was not an ordinary one, as the following 
ii-em from the New Haven Register, of Aug. 29, will testify: ' The 
New Haven Gun Club held a handicap shoot yesterday afternoon at 
their new range. C. B Bristol, the oide'^t member of the club, was, 
bv a preconcerted arrangement, the winner in the first e^ent. After 
his victory Judge Callahan called bis attention with well chosen re- 
marks, and in behalf of the club presented Mr. Bristol with an elegant 
gold-headed cane, on which was Inscribed: 'C. B Bristol, Aug. S8, 
1897,' it being Mr. Bristol's seventieth birthday. The recipient was 
taken completely by surprise, but briefly responded by saying that 
money can buy almost any article of merchandise, but true friendship 
is not bought with eii her silver or gold. The cane is a fiti ing testi- 
monial of tlie high esteem iu which Mr. Bristol is held by his fellow 
members of the club." We have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. 
Bristol many times, but we wish that fate had been propitious enough 
io have permitted our being on hand to congratulate "the father of 
the club" more fittingly than we can do in cold type. As we remem- 
ber Mr. Bristol's shooting there was not much need of any "precon- 
certed arrangement" to insure his winning first place, he is nearly 
always there or thereabouts, even if he does hustle all the time to 
make things run smoothly. 
Jim Elliott's victory over Charlie Budd gives him two champion- 
ship emblems and titles; he has won the Star cup and the Dii Pont 
trophy. The cast iron badge alone remains, and it would .=eem that 
that, too, belongs to him by virtue of forfeiture, Charlie Grimm not 
having paid any attention to the challenge issued by Elliott at tne 
same time, and iu the same letter, that be challenged for the two 
trophies above mentioned. There may be something back of this 
silence on the part of Grimm, hut what it is we cannot guess, and our 
correspondent who reported the Budd-EUiott match at Eau Claire, 
Wis., gives us no clew. Not having a copy of the conditions govern- 
ing challsnges for this trophy, we would hazard the statement that 
the uon acceptance of a challenge for the cast iron medal neces- 
sarily carries with it the forfeiture of all right to tbe medal and to 
whatever title goes along with (he emblem. If we are wrong on this 
point, will some one Who is familiar with the conditions kindly cor- 
rect us. 
New Jerseymen must work hard to make the State shoot. Sept; 2S- 
Oct. 1 , a big success It is so long since Jersey had a State shoot— tbe 
last one being held in 1864— that it should be a matter of pride to make 
this one something worth talking about. This tournament is practi- 
cally the "first annua' of the New Jersey State Sportsmen's Associ- 
ation," and special efforts have been made by that organ izdiicn to 
get out a ijrogramme that will attract shooters to the CiiCton race 
track on the above dates. Clifton is so close to Pas=aic, N J., that 
the grounds are easy of acess for all Jerseymen aod forall those who 
may sojourn temporarily or otherwise in the city of Kew York and its 
suburbs. AVe shall profiably have more to say on this point next 
week, after we have returned to the busy haunts, etc. 
The 1697 season at the Hollywood grounds was brought to a close 
on Saturday last, Sept. 4. R A.Welch, of the Riverton Gun Club, 
fas the winner in the main event with a score of 24 out of i5. The 
Elk wood Park traps will now bethe place where all the trap shooting 
around Long Branch will be done. The winter season atElkwood 
Park will probably be as interesting as the summer season has been. 
The ample club house, well warmed and well lighted, makes shoot- 
ing during the winter just about as pleasant as in the summer 
monlbs. The birds, too, are always so much better in winter than in 
summer that most people will gladly put up with a littie discomfort 
as regards the weather so long as the birds are good ones. 
The .American jfteZci has been "making news" again In its issue

At the recent tournament of the Ontjario Rod and Gun Club League, 
the Mallard Gun Club, of Hamilton, Can., won the league tr^ohv for 
5-inen teams by scoring 2^5 out of 250, to 23t Hc6red by the Hespeler 
team, and 232 scored bv the Guelph team. This victory gives the 
trophy to the Mallards for good and all, as they have won tt two 
years in succession. The league's shoot was a big success and some 
of the scores made ran quite high. The scores show how close arace 
it was. 
Drivers and Twisters are rather scarce in the northern portion of 
the State of New York; at least we have found them so during the 
past week or two. As a matter of fact, when we are casting for bass

Drivers and Twisters of a literary nature are about the last thing we 
want to think about.

A COMMITNTCATION PROM INDIANAPOLIS".* 
Indianapolis, Tnd —Editor Forest and Stream: For two or tbreo 
years past gun clubs here and there baye barred professional aid 
paid shooters from participation in their tournaments Tbe wisdom 
of so doing, and its probable effect upon trap-shootin<r interests, 
have been quite fully discussed in the columns Of Forest and 
Stream 
Comes now the Cleveland Target Companv, per Paul North, and, 
having read the handwriting on the wall, it gravely informs an anx- 
ious public that about a year hence, ten months, to be exact, ir. will 
do what otlieri have been doine for yea's And the'euD'^n Forest 
AND Stream denominates it as "Paul North's scheme," and wonders 
what the trap shooting readers will have to say. 
Speaking for my=>e1f, and probably for others who shoot for sport 
and pay their own expenses, I want to ask what the Cleveland Tare-at 
Company has done forthegooi of our cause, that its tardy accept- 
ance of these old ideas should give new or added importance to the 
Suhjpct? 
True, it has held tournaments notable for a large attendance at- 
tracted bv big added money, for the benefit of tbe c'ass it now pro- 
poses to bar. and by free targets and fake handicaps to beguile the 
other cUss which, next summer, it will kindly take under its protect- 
ine wings. 
Tournaments by gun clubs are nece'ssary to their existence, in that 
they serve to stimulate local and neighboWno- Interest in the sport 
and tbe profits of such meetings help to pay flx°.'1 expenses and pro- 
vide improved or pwmanent paraphernalia Th" manyfacturer of 
tr^p-shooting supplies wiio in vade« th's field, solely for commercial 
purposes, and unmindful of the harm done to gun clubs, is not de- 
serving of our support. 
The record of the Cleveland Tarcret Company, per Paul North, 
hardly justifies the trap editor's notion that its recent announcement, 
made for trade rea<?on8. would b°, of special sieoiflcance to his 
readers, unless it be to tbe shooters for revenue only, who wjll view 
it as throwing one more dornick in the rocky road thev mu«t traveL 
Royal Robinson. 
THE trap editor's reply. 
Mr. Robinson finds fault with us, and with the Clevelond Target 
Company, in the communication wbi^h is given above. "The Cleve- 
land Target Company per Paul North" ras M". Robinson seenis to 
prefer to put ir). is well able to take care of itself, and the quality of 
tbe Cleveland tournaments of past years is so well known that noth- 
ing need be said about them. But. while on tbe subject, we might 
add that Mr. Robinson's ideas about these gatherings do not coincide 
in the slightest with our "notions." 
The tnie reason for Mr. Robinson's coramuuioation seems to lie in 
an apparent misconception of what we wrote regarding Mr. North's 
letter, which appeared iu Forest and Stream some w°eks ago. Not 
having a copy of the issue in which th" offending article appenred 
within reach j')st now, we are loath ro believe that we (^reditBd Paul 
North with originating the "scheme" for barring prof ossionals as 
Mr. Robinson would have us believe we did. A fnll qnotaHon of the 
context would, we fully belisve, have set Mr. Robinson's mind at rest 
on that point. 
In reply to tbe last par^eraph of Mr. Robinson's letter, we would 
say: "The record of the CHe'-eland Target Company, per Paul North," 
does j'istif V "tbe trap editor's notion, thit it<! recent announcement." 
i« "of .special significance to his readers " We are daring enough to 
prophesy that ten months hence. <»-e will be able to make a note that 
"the recent tournament at Cleveland was one of the greatest gather- 
ings of the amateur trap shooters of this country ovor gotten to- 
e-ether " Such is our belief in the efficacy of "Paul North's scheme"' 
for the programme of the Cleveland shoot in June, IMR 1 The scheme 
is of great significance to the amateur trap-shooters of the United 
State". It means a great big shoot, with big mcney, and with no one 
but amateurs to fight for it 
PROFITS DERIVED FROM TOURNAMENTS. 
There is one other paragraph in Mr. Robinson's letter whieh it 
seems advisable to touch upon; we refer to the one whieh speaks of 
"the profits of such meetings" as helping "to nav fixed expenses and 
provide improved or permanent paraphernalia." Forest and Stream's 
stand m this matter has always been that clubs ought not to try to 
make money for such purposes, unless it advertises a tournament for 
just i^uch charitable purposes as building a new club house, putting 
In a new and improved set of traps, or something of a like nature. 
All expenses attending a tournament can be cleared, with a balance 
in hand from the receipts after all bills have been paid, if 1J4 cents 
per target be charged. Of course, added money alters the conditions 
it being thoroughly well understood by all shooters that added money 
is raised by increasing tbe price of the targets. But where there is 
nothing offered to visiting shooters, other than an opportunity to 
meet a lot of shooters and spend the day in sweepstake shooting, we 
scarcely like the idea of making them pay more than their share of 
tbe expenses of running the shoots, in order to put a good round .sum 
into the treasury of the club, siraplv "to pay fixed expenses, etc " It 
looks too much like asking a body of men to come to a dinner, charg- 
ing them S5 per plate, but giving them only a S2.tO dinner, in order 
that you might buy a silver set of knives and forks for the next 
dinner 
We know that this idea of ours ma.y seem too radical to meet with 
general approval, and we would like to hear something from the other 
side. .
